addresses across the local network and the Internet. Where user workstations use fixed

IP addresses, it is also possible to apply this function to individual users.

It is also possible to apply bandwidth limiter to a particular time interval (e.g. in work

hours).

These parameters can be set on the Constraints tab.

Figure 9.4

Bandwidth Limiter — IP Addresses and Time Range

At the top of the Constraints tab, select a method how bandwidth will be applied to IP

addresses and define the IP address group:

Apply to all traffic — the IP address group specification is inactive it is irrelevant.

Apply to the selected address group only — the bandwidth limiter will be applied

only if at least one IP address involved in a connection belongs to the address

group. The other traffic will not be limited.

Apply to all except the selected address group — the bandwidth limiter will not be

applied if at least one IP address involved in a connection belongs to the address

group. Any other traffic will be limited.

In the lower section of the Constraints tab, a time range within which the bandwidth

would be limited can be set. Click Edit to edit the selected interval or to create a new one

(details in chapter

14.2

).

Setting of parameters for detection of large data volume transfers

The Advanced tab enables setting of parameters that will be used for detection of trans-

missions of large data volume — the minimal volume of transmitted data and inactivity

time interval. The default values (200 KB and 5 sec) are optimized in accordance with

long-term testing in full action.

Caution! Changes of these values may reduce Bandwidth Limiter performance dramati-
